Chicken Salad with Prawns

Chicken Salad with Prawns

Before leaving off for a weekend, I suggest a little recipe for the end of the week. Perhaps you put a nice roast chicken on the menu, a fine poultry slowly cooked in the oven, and that will delight your Sunday lunch… If you plan to share it with many friends or family, there’s a good chance that this beautiful chicken will be finished the same day. Otherwise, there will surely be some remains…

No complicated ingredients, it’s pure crunch and freshness, vitamins, and beautiful colors. Pomegranate seeds make a discreet appearance to bring a fruity and juicy touch. As for coaching, this may be the mayonnaise that I propose at the end of a dressing (with or without mustard) or simply a mixture of lemon juice and a very good quality olive oil. Personally, it will be well up addressing with some fresh herbs…

In case of fine weather, this salad could become a main dish at a picnic, a meal with friends in the garden or at the beach. It will just wait until the last moment of the season!
